Night photograph of a processional vehicle decorated with gold-toned carved metal and a golden canopy above. A small figure in a red turban and ornate red-and-gold embroidered garment sits in the vehicle, adorned with a white beaded necklace and draped with yellow and red marigold garlands. Fairy lights in purple and red illuminate the vehicle and a dark animal-shaped element in the foreground. The statue-like figure appears to be a deity murti carried in procession rather than a living person, so no in-person presence is recorded. Dark background.

Night photograph of a festival procession. A small golden metal murti of a deity, wearing an orange-red turban, layered gold and pearl necklaces, and a garland of yellow and red flowers, is seated on a decorated vehicle lit with coloured fairy lights. In front, a red and black horse-shaped figure glows with string lights. Behind, a gold embroidered canopy with red fringe is visible. A partly visible person in a grey wrap stands at the left edge, reaching toward the figure. No clearly visible face of a physical a person candidate is shown; the lit murti is a statue.
